A screw conveyor, also known as an auger conveyor, is a mechanical device used for transporting and mixing bulk materials such as powders, granules, and pellets. It consists of a rotating helical screw that is housed inside a trough or tube, with the material being fed into one end and discharged at the other. The rotating motion of the screw moves the material along the conveyor while also mixing it for uniform distribution.
